Since Pokemon Go has launched, the game has generated its share of headlines. Pokemon, a series of video games developed by Game Freak and Creatures Inc and published by Nintendo based on a cartoon series. The cartoon series features 10 year old Ash who aspires to be the greatest Pokemon trainer in the world. In his effort he enlists the help of two friends, Misty and Brock, and his own Pokemon, Pikachu who also becomes more his friend. Together they search their world for all Pokemon while avoiding Team Rocket and their Pokemon, Meowth.I myself have recently been pulled into the game and found myself walking around looking for Pokemon. Some being rather unreachable due to having to trek into other people’s backyards that may or may not have dogs while Pokemon gyms are located near bus stops and state buildings. I will probably head out after this on my own quest to “Catch em all.”

On the opposite side of things there is a lot of fake news out there involving Pokemon Go. Let me just get straight into it.

Pokemon GO, a mobile game that has captured the attention of millions of fans worldwide, is yet again the cause of a tragedy. Timmy Richards, A 15 year old Florida teen, was arrested Sunday morning after stabbing his 13 year-old brother to death because, according to authorities, he thought his younger brother had deleted his Pokemon, when in reality, he had simply logged him out.Since the release of Pokemon GO earlier this week, it has been a hit, attracting millions of players from all age ranges. Encouraging players to travel on foot to find and capture the various Pokemon available. “Tragic, tragic, tragic” said Officer Gary Philips, who arrived at the scene a few minutes after the murder, “It’s sad to see a game capture it’s players so much that they are willing to kill others. Especially in this case, as it was all just a misunderstanding”. According to his family, Timmy was a very smart and peaceful person, rarely seen angry or agitated.

Some users are having problems logging into or playing Pokemon Go the infamous terrorist group know as ISIS is taking responsibility for this attack.ISIS leader Ahmad Aklahar HanhJob says “America will feel the pain of not being able to catch them all” he claims the terrorist group has stopped purchasing illegal firearms and is now moving the war online. He claims they own several computer with over 500gb of ram something that could cause mass destruction.Using a simple dial up connection they have managed to shut down Pokemon Go’s servers.Stay woke and keep updated by checking back as this story develops.

Charley Lewis claims he was walking home when he felt a vibration from his phone upon checking it the notification was from the Pokemon Go app.He told his family that he didn’t feel the car hit him he simply awoke at the hospital with fractured skull and both his legs broken doctors say he might never walk again. His friend who wants to remain anonymous recorded the incident and immediately dialed 911.Charley Lewis says his life goal was to “catch them all” but with his inability to walk his dreams have been crushed he said “I felt like they set me up for disappointment” he is expected to live but he might never catch them all.His family has already started the suing the Pokemon Go company they feel that a 500 million dollar settlement will be enough to satisfy his disappointment. We have yet to hear from the Pokemon Go company.

26 Year-Old Lamar Hickson is accused of causing one of the worst highway accidents after stopping in the middle of the highway to catch a Pikachu.Lamar Hickson admitted to police that he was playing the newly released Pokemon app game know as “Pokemon Go” while driving. He said “Sh*t if you wanna catch them all you gotta risk it all so I put my car in park and started tossing these balls”.Charges against Hickson are still unknown, nobody was seriously hurt but this raises concerns about future accidents. We spoke to one of the car accident victims and he also says he was also playing the game.We spoke the officers Fredrick Jones who says “Texting and driving was already a very serious issue, but now playing Pokemon Go and driving could make things worse.” He said this could double or triple the amount of incidents that happen due to driving while using a mobile device.The hashtag #dontpokemongoanddrive has since started trending on social media.

These four are the main rumor/articles going around that are fake works of fiction originating from the CartelPress website. CartelPress looks like a normal news site but its stories are actually manufactured stories. See if you scroll down to the bottom of the site you will see a link to their Term and Conditions. Once you click on it you are shown this at the top:

So…..there you have it. I have done some research of the site and apparently Huzlers.com regularly publishes fake stories and that CartelPress may be just a mock-up for another site they plan to create which will allow its users to create their own stories and share them on social media. The guy behind the idea even tricked Facebook users into believing he had predicted many milestone events in 2016.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Police say two people in Ohio have been arrested while playing “Pokemon Go” after they climbed over a fence at the Toledo Zoo. The pair was arrested early Thursday after they were spotted on a zoo security camera. Police say the two went over a fence near the zoo’s tiger enclosure in search of the smart phone game’s cartoon monsters. Officers say the pair was walking through the zoo when they were caught. Both were charged with criminal trespass. Twenty-five-year old Robin Bartholomy and 26-year-old Adrian Crawford, both of Toledo, are due in court Friday. Court records do not list attorneys for them. A message seeking comment was left with Crawford. There was no telephone listing for Bartholomy. WTOL reports that Bartholomy posted on Facebook just days before her arrest: ‘I am not above breaking and entering for a Pokemon.” *** True

Some are being led to some not-so-great places.
The whole point of Pokémon Go is that you have to go out in order to play the game. In theory, this is great. So many games we play on our phones keep us stationary, but Pokémon Go has us exploring the world. However, the game’s creators might want to rethink where they’re stashing the Pokémon: Users have reported being led to a strip club, cemeteries, private homes and even a Holocaust museum in pursuit of their prizes.

So with all that has been going on be careful when playing the game and limit where you go. Pokemon appear everywhere even across the street in a neighbor’s backyard that owns two big pit bulls………………………………..

Hello readers. Gaming has only gotten better and better. Now not without a few hiccups but better yes. As we move into 2016 and eventually into 2017 there will be a lot of games coming out that will literally amaze you. One type of gaming coming out on the horizon are virtual reality games. Sony will be spearheading the movement with their new PlayStation VR, which is a virtual reality headset set to release in October 2016 for $399… Now how cool this sounds to me until the price comes into play. It’s like buying another PlayStation 4. So if you do not have a PS4 now and you want to play in VR then be prepared to kick out at least $800 to get you started. I know there is a bundle that will come with a game for $499.99. (If you clicked the link you will have seen that already.)

Three flavors of PS4 for ya.

So… what about Microsoft the the Xbox??? Well nothing definite was mentioned but Microsoft has announced a new more powerful XBox One referred to as Project Scorpio. Check out the IGN video:

Okay enough of that stuff, with all the new hardware coming out boasting more powerful GPUs (Sony also has mentioned a better PS4) what games are we going to be to play on these all of this??? Let’s see shall we???

I want to start with the game that has my attention. I am talking about Resident Evil. If you are a fan of Resident Evil you know that the franchise has moved from the horror we all loved about the game to more of a RPG fighting type of game with some puzzles in the mix. Well Resident Evil 7 is on the move. The game now will not be out until about Jan of 2017 but you can get a glimpse at what this game will be like now. There is a demo that some people can play and a trailer.

Okay now for you all you sneaker freaks who are losing closet space because of all the pairs of sneakers you just have to have. Technology of today now can help you stack up on pairs even more now. You can have your next new pair of ‘kicks’ 3D printed. How about that Kanye West? In case you missed the memo, Kanye West seems to think that 3D printers will destroy the fashion industry. Sneaker companies are now embracing the concept and are making their own 3D printed sneakers. Let’s start with Adidas shall we?

The idea from Adidas is something we all know and run into eventually in our lives. You ever want the best and most expensive sneakers and yet when you buy them… Your feet hurt in time and you begin to think why you bought them in the first place. Yet those things look good on your feet so you tell yourself you are okay with them. Well no foot made is created equal. Funny thing is even your own feet are not identical to each other. Adidas has announced today the Futurecraft 3D, its first 3D printed shoe.

The Futurecraft 3D looks to me like a running shoe but the shoe has a midsole which can be customized to anyone’s foot “matching exact contours and pressure points,” as Adidas is saying. Adidas is involved with Materialise who is a leading 3D printing software provider. I looked into Materialise and they did some work with some fashion designer named Melinda Looi back in 2013. I don’t really know how that is but apparently that is a big thing.

Now this trend has been in the heads of companies for some time now. Nike was the frontrunner by being the first to release a shoe with 3D-printed compoents. The Vapor Laser Talon had a 3D printed plate. If you don’t believe me just ask Olympic sprinter Michael Johnson. After that Nike released the Vapor Carbon Elite. You know I’m not one to throw a lot of letters at you so just scroll down to watch the videos.

So it is coming people… The day where you will be able to buy your ‘kicks’ and have the midsole talored to your unequally sized feet. This can be huge though really especially for anyone with foot problems. If you have flat feet you will possibly be able to buy that casual shoe, like the Nike Cortez or the Air Force Ones and just simply have the midsole made for your feet and you will be good to go. Now so far Adidas is talking this game and Nike started it but as we all know, others will follow suit to compete.
